Adaptive Fuzzy Tracking Control with Global Prescribed-Time Prescribed Performance for Uncertain Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems
Adaptive fuzzy control strategies are established to achieve global
prescribed performance with prescribed-time convergence for strict-feedback
systems with mismatched uncertainties and unknown nonlinearities. Firstly, to
quantify the transient and steady performance constraints of the tracking
error, a class of prescribed-time prescribed performance functions are
designed, and a novel error transformation function is introduced to remove the
initial value constraints and solve the singularity problem in existing works.
Secondly, based on dynamic surface control methods, controllers with or without
approximating structures are established to guarantee that the tracking error
achieves prescribed transient performance and converges into a prescribed
bounded set within prescribed time. In particular, the settling time and
initial value of the prescribed performance function are completely independent
of initial conditions of the tracking error and system parameters, which
improves existing results. Moreover, with a novel Lyapunov-like energy
function, not only the differential explosion problem frequently occurring in
backstepping techniques is solved, but the drawback of the semi-global
boundedness of tracking error induced by dynamic surface control can be
overcome. The validity and effectiveness of the main results are verified by
numerical simulations on practical examples
Estimator-based adaptive neural network control of leader-follower high-order nonlinear multiagent systems with actuator faults
The problem of distributed cooperative control for networked multiagent systems is investigated in this paper. Each agent is modeled as an uncertain nonlinear high-order system incorporating with model uncertainty, unknown external disturbance, and actuator fault. The communication network between followers can be an undirected or a directed graph, and only some of the follower agents can obtain the commands from the leader. To develop the distributed cooperative control algorithm, a prefilter is designed, which can derive the state-space representation to a newly constructed plant. Then, a set of distributed adaptive neural network controllers are designed by making certain modifications on traditional backstepping techniques with the aid of adaptive control, neural network control, and a second-order sliding mode estimator. Rigorous proving procedures are provided,which show that uniform ultimate boundedness of all the tracking errors can be achieved in a networked multiagent system. Finally, a numerical simulation is carried out to evaluate the theoretical results
Event-triggering architectures for adaptive control of uncertain dynamical systems
In this dissertation, new approaches are presented for the design and implementation of networked adaptive control systems to reduce the wireless network utilization while guaranteeing system stability in the presence of system uncertainties. Specifically, the design and analysis of state feedback adaptive control systems over wireless networks using event-triggering control theory is first presented. The state feedback adaptive control results are then generalized to the output feedback case for dynamical systems with unmeasurable state vectors. This event-triggering approach is then adopted for large-scale uncertain dynamical systems. In particular, decentralized and distributed adaptive control methodologies are proposed with reduced wireless network utilization with stability guarantees.
In addition, for systems in the absence of uncertainties, a new observer-free output feedback cooperative control architecture is developed. Specifically, the proposed architecture is predicated on a nonminimal state-space realization that generates an expanded set of states only using the filtered input and filtered output and their derivatives for each vehicle, without the need for designing an observer for each vehicle. Building on the results of this new observer-free output feedback cooperative control architecture, an event-triggering methodology is next proposed for the output feedback cooperative control to schedule the exchanged output measurements information between the agents in order to reduce wireless network utilization. Finally, the output feedback cooperative control architecture is generalized to adaptive control for handling exogenous disturbances in the follower vehicles.
For each methodology, the closed-loop system stability properties are rigorously analyzed, the effect of the user-defined event-triggering thresholds and the controller design parameters on the overall system performance are characterized, and Zeno behavior is shown not to occur with the proposed algorithms --Abstract, page iv
Synchronization of multiple rigid body systems: a survey
The multi-agent system has been a hot topic in the past few decades owing to
its lower cost, higher robustness, and higher flexibility. As a particular
multi-agent system, the multiple rigid body system received a growing interest
since its wide applications in transportation, aerospace, and ocean
exploration. Due to the non-Euclidean configuration space of attitudes and the
inherent nonlinearity of the dynamics of rigid body systems, synchronization of
multiple rigid body systems is quite challenging. This paper aims to present an
overview of the recent progress in synchronization of multiple rigid body
systems from the view of two fundamental problems. The first problem focuses on
attitude synchronization, while the second one focuses on cooperative motion
control in that rotation and translation dynamics are coupled. Finally, a
summary and future directions are given in the conclusion
Distributed adaptive fault-tolerant leader-following formation control of nonlinear uncertain second-order multi-agent systems
This paper presents a distributed integrated fault diagnosis and accommodation scheme for leaderâfollowing formation control of a class of nonlinear uncertain secondâorder multiâagent systems. The fault model under consideration includes both process and actuator faults, which may evolve abruptly or incipiently. The timeâvarying leader communicates with a small subset of follower agents, and each follower agent communicates to its directly connected neighbors through a bidirectional network with possibly asymmetric weights. A local fault diagnosis and accommodation component are designed for each agent in the distributed system, which consists of a fault detection and isolation module and a reconfigurable controller module comprised of a baseline controller and two adaptive faultâtolerant controllers, activated after fault detection and after fault isolation, respectively. By using appropriately the designed Lyapunov functions, the closedâloop stability and asymptotic convergence properties of the leaderâfollower formation are rigorously established under different modes of the faultâtolerant control system
